  1. What bothers me here is that Starfleet has a "war college". I thought they were peaceful explorers? Seriously though: they could have named it "strategic college", or "planning" something or another. "War"? Erm, not something the Federations starts...
  2. He seems to feel a pathological need to "connect his characters to legacy characters" in order to somehow boost their authenticity/ credibility. Like they aren't "Star Wars" officially unless a legacy character is somehow attached to them.
  3. pm incoming to you, derex
  4. Hmmm... I may give this a try...
  5. Wait... Jared Leto is SKELETOR?!
  6. They were, but they had to pause chemo while she was in the hospital (her hemoglobin was too low for chemo).
  7. What are you doing, Dave?
  8. And my wife is back in the hospital. 😭 Cancer is blocking her airway in her lung; talking surgery or radiation now. Going to go curl up in a corner and hide under every single blanket I can find.
  9. " The Galaxy is Calling Me"? Not familiar with that one; I'll have to watch it!
  10. Guess they wouldn't fold-in from Taco Bell then.
  11. Seto, I have a question about this, but it's a bit complicated to set up (and I'm probably overcomplicating it). Here goes... We've seen the Macross(SDF-1) in SDFM fold from a planet's surface to space and seen the Macross 7 fleet fold off of "Lux"/ "Rax" (saw both used for the planet's name) in Macross 7 Ep 38. In SFDM, it took Macross Island and part of the atmosphere/ ocean with them, while in M7, the planet was breaking up due to Gigile's "black space/ void" powers (so not sure if folding out did anything to the planet or the ship). But I've never seen in the series' for any of the Macross shows (admittedly I haven't seen every single episode of every single series) the consequences of a craft/ ship folding into a planet's atmosphere/ gravity well, and I think I missed the episodes with Operation Stargazer in them for M7. In Macross Plus, both Isamu and Guld apparently fold to just outside Earth orbit, outside of the orbital defense grid (I guess they have things in place to prevent someone from just folding in past it? ). My question is: are there any negative consequences of a craft/ ship folding inside a planet's gravity well/ atmosphere?
  12. Not quite sure if this is Star Trek or a cheap, half-arsed rip-off of Umbrella Academy.
  13. Thanks; I just told her! Cool! I especially needed them when I split the middle one! O.O
  14. Much appreciated! ❤️Although I had to fight them to release her: they argued that she "wouldn't recover at home", and I argued that she wasn't recovering there. After reviewing her charts and talking to the doctors involved, admin saw it our way and let her come home (where she has been recovering quite well).
  15. Looking REALLY good! One recommendation: use clothespins or some other kind of clip on the pylons while the glue dries: on mine, they kept trying to separate! O.o
  16. UPDATE: 1) Wife is finally home; however, her hemoglobin level is low (medical staff got in trouble for letting it get to that point; still talking with hospital admin over that) and she's taking time to recover. Playing things by ear ATM; building her levels back up slowly (so she doesn't go into shock). At least the house doesn't have that deafening silence that grasped it for nearly all of December. 2) Found this on ebay for a couple of bucks (and I had a coupon for free shipping from the holidays), but the wings were busted: The underside hinge was mangled (particularly on one side), so I had to repair those. Since it was beat to hell anyways, I did some... renovations: I decided to modify it to more closely resemble his smaller, regular Gobot counterpart: Comparison in robot mode: And for anyone wondering.... how Leader-1 compares to our favorite whining psycho- sycophant, G1 Starscream: Third: got the repair decals for the Weefit (thanks Thom!) and got her restored. I also finished painting and did a wash, although it didn't go quite as expected: Still some overly black areas to remove, but doing to much WILL remove paint (had to repaint it a couple of times already!), and trying to cover it with white looks like crap, so may have to just "live with those". Couple of more projects also were donated to me by some kind folks IRL who caught wind of my family's situation. I'll post those in a bit. Stay tuned...
  17. About now, all of us can relate...
  18. NICE!! BTW: you can see the pre-shading on the craft, it's just a bit more subdued but I think that really works here! Looking really good here man!
  19. "More fun than Discovery"? So are: - root canals - kidney stones - endometriosis - 1,001 papercuts on your hands in a vinegar factory - AI video "Carbon Disco" (Star Trek) - A night time aircraft carrier landing in a storm at sea in 1964 flying an F-4 Phantom II - accidentally sitting on a cattle prod and triggering the device - listening to Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz as he recites bad poetry for nine hours straight
  20. Yeah; compared to the line art, they didn't even come close with the 17S in some places. The legs look like toothpicks and don't even look like they could have engines in them. They ought to listen to the M7 song Try Again....
  21. Frankly, they need to clean the fridge when it comes to ideas for Star Wars. Aside from Andor and S1 of The Mandalorian, I can't think of anything else good.
  22. Probably working on a new one as we speak...
